Encouragement
What Could I Have Done If:
I had complained less and appreciated more
I had spent more time in prayer and less time in self-pity
I had spoken with less forcefulness and more compassion
If I confronted less and simply accepted more
If I had lived less in regret and more in revival
If I had questioned less and investigated mercifully more
If I had sought monetarily less and pursued enlightenment more
If I had strived to achieve less and challenged myself more
If I had expected less of others and required more of myself
If I had loved myself less and loved others more
If I had been less self-centrered and more other-centered
If I had asked less of others and more of myself
If I had sought the negative less and the positive more
If I had lived with less close-mindedness and lived fully in openness
If I had lived with less desire and lived more with a grateful heart
A THOUGHT:
It is not so much in looking backwards that life has greater meaning and personal value; it is more in looking forward with an open mind and heart and anticipation of the positive that we find the best in ourselves.
